[Diane Glover · Rating 4 out of 5]

After reading ATTACHED I picked up this book to focus on my own Attachment style. Anxious Attachment. The first half of this book does a very good job of describing what it is like to have this attachment style, with great illustrations, and lots of insight from someone who has since overcome this style. It lays a great foundation of what issues a person might carry from childhood or trauma that created this attachment style as well. The second half of this book is the WORK portion. He lays out a variety of ways in which you can OVERCOME your attachment style. He includes homework, and a 12 week set up for things you can DO.. (lots of writing in this part) to overcome and rewire your brain. And while I think these are great. They overwhelmed me. If I did all the things he listed, as he put them out.. I would not be able to work or function in my day to day life because of ALL the writing he wanted me to do and all the other "things," I.e. exercise, water, rest, journal, etc.etc. BUT I do find all the suggestions great. There are a lot of different things you can focus on to help you on your path to healing. Page after page of ideas, and other ways to narrow your search to find out what works for you. I appreciate that he included other practices such as the five love languages as each option is one more way for you to learn about yourself and how you function. In this way this book is invaluable to me and it will remain on my shelf as long as I a struggle with my attachment style. Its marked up, corners folded and bears all the signs of a book well read.
Overall I would give it 4.5 stars.. with the cravat that you should take ideas out of this book to use, but PLEASE don't feel like you have to complete every task mentioned or you will be overwhelmed.
